The wii has some great single player games for sure but the wii sports ,wii play , wario ware , mario party all focus and benefit from a multiplayer social gang bang.
yes they do.
But how are those games more important then the (imo vastly better) single player wii games?
As for the adverts , they are really crazy Nintendo-land reality.
They advertise the single player games the same way.
Hehe....indeed...it always makes me chuckle to see some Lifestyle Couple sat on the sofa together, him playing games and her looking on with a big grin on her face. In my experience if I'm playing games in the living room when the GF's around she's usually got her head buried in a book or she stomps off upstairs in a strop to watch Coronation Street in the bedroom.

My life has been turned upside down. I have three, yes THREE, stars in Mario Galaxy and my girlfriend is in the forties. I just can't get the game to myself.

That's kinda my point....you're not playing together, are you? Our lass gets a right monk on if I'm hogging the PSP and she can't play Lumines. She's not anti-gaming, it's just I'm not seeing this beautiful vision of Togetherness Through Gaming that Nintendo sell

I wasn't trying to say you were wrong or anything, I was just saying. More of a "poor me, I have Mario Galaxy and can't get near it". She's playing it right now, trying to learn how to ice skate on what looks like a huge donut.
I guess I'm quite lucky then - my gf likes to watch me play Zelda (and offer suggestions if I get stuck), and we're playing SMG in co-star mode (in fact I'm not allowed to play it when she's not around for fear that she'll miss something).
On a completely different subject, why on earth is it taking NOE so long to get their new website online - and why the hell didn't they have it programmed and tested before they turned off the old one? Bloody muppets.

They're just continuing the tradition of making us wait for everything.

Yeah, tried it today - seems ace from the first few plays. There's a quest mode which I've not looked at, just played the regular arcade mode and, well, it's Arkanoid on the DS So far I prefer it to Break 'em All and Nervous Brickout, it's less gimmicky and makes better use of the screens - everything's small and well proportioned which leads to some brutally fast games.
